Ok if somone could point me in the right direction please?

i have recently had a big problem on my board and have had to basicaly start again and i need my mods on the forum to help me sort things out before i re-open but mods only see the same as other members, the message that its closed, now i dont want to make them admin juts simply give them access when the board is closed?

thaks in advanced for any help with this
